Matt Damon: Mr. Big Man
Splash News Online

The Informant is an action-adventure. Matt Damon and Steven Soderbergh powering in the true-life story of the highest-level exec who ever turned whistleblower. Edge-of-your-seat stuff, right?

So, why has Matt suddenly gone from Sexiest Man Alive to a chubby guy-next-door, complete with nerdy hair and John Holmes 'stache?

Well, he loses his mind in the flick, maybe that's it? He's a Method actor, after all.

Remember, this is the guy who dropped 50 pounds for Courage Under Fire back when he was an up-and-comer—and needed medication to correct the repercussions to his system.

"I went too far," he said at the time. "I got sick, and I wouldn't do that again."

Think he'll ever get back to his fighting weight, or will little Violet start calling him Uncle Fatt Damon?

Quotables /
“Matt Damon is in Hawaii today for the last day of filming "The Informant" for director Steven Sodenberg. Damon plays Mark Whitacre, the President of the BioProducts Divison and Corporate Vice President for the agriculture company Archer Daniels Midlands in the early '90s.

Whitacre turned whistleblower when he told the FBI that ADM was fixing the price of lysine. So, yes, finally, a movie that combines the thrilling saga if agriculture with the breathless pace of fat guys playing golf. This movie should give away free coffins for all the people who die from excitement.”
“I like them with a little cushioning on the front (sixpack abs are not a reality for many bitches) so this completely appeals to me. Here's Matt Damon looking fine as wine for his new flick The Informant.

I hope Matty is never able to lose that paunch and learns to celebrate it and join the bears. His bartender wife doesn't need him anymore. She's got the kid, hence the huge child support. He needs to get with the large and hairy men who are going to love him for this look.

He also sorta looks like the doctor who once felt up my Ri-Ri Harvey in front of me, but I'm choosing not to focus on that part of it.”

“Matt Damon goes with his gut on the set of his new movie "The Informant" at Makaha Valley Country Club in Hawaii on Tuesday. Nice pornstache and hair piece!!

Damon, 37, plays whistleblower Mark Whitacre in the true story about a price-fixing scheme involving an agribusiness giant.

"The Informant" is scheduled for release in March 2009. Steven Soderbergh, of "Ocean’s" film franchise fame, is directing.

What’s Matt eating/chewing on? An ice chip?”

“Matt Damon looked completely repulsive (like a creepy pervert if I'm quite frank) on the set of his latest movie, 'The Informant', in Hawaii yesterday. It's known the actor had to gain weight especially for the role but thankfully Matt is now filming his last 2 days.

So fingers crossed a nice slim Mr Damon will greet us once the premiere comes around!”
